While I agree with the statement 100%, I believe it is rather unfortunate. > On behalf of everyone in the blender.org organization I hereby fully and loudly condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine. I do too. The issue is that this has nothing to do with the mission of the Blender Foundation, nor with free software. It's an important (in fact, more important) but different issue. FLOSS organizations taking a political stance on completely unrelated issues is something we've seen many times. It's an issue because it becomes a "package deal": people should be able to put their forces (and their money) together towards a common goal without having to agree on any other issue. The statement is one I agree with, but it belongs on a personal blog, not on blender.org. Those who support and endorse the Blender Foundation are expressing agreement with its mission, not with whatever other political view Ton (or others) may have, now or in the future. I especially admired the Blender Foundation for its neutrality and focus on its mission, without failure for two decades. But now I think it has made the same mistake as other FLOSS organizations.
